Do not ask questions about how to get something working. This topic is only for additions to this tutorial. WARNING: I admit that with VirtualBox the network is very unstable, presumably due to very slow performance of Win 9x guests under VBox.Īnother way of read-only file sharing is to create a virtual CD-ROM *.iso file on the host and insert it into the guest VM.Ĭlipboard integrated in VirtualBox only works with the Guest Additions, so not for Windows9x.īut there is another workaround: Clipboard over TCP/IPĪ Solution tested successfull with Linux Host is ShareClip: (Tested with VBox 2.1.2.– and was successful with “bridged” network. Since VirtualBox shared folders won’t work, there are other ways, such as SMB/Windows File Sharing.

Have the Win98SE.iso ready, it will ask for a HID driver after reboot (which can be found on the Win9X.iso, the drive letter may have changed from E: to D:, adjust accordingly) VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/USB/HidMouse/0/Config/CoordShift" 0 Then on the linux host fire up a terminal: # to enable Windows-98 mode There is no such option anymore in VirtualBox 5.2.6 but you can put it on “Tablet” VirtualBox 4.1 provides for Windows-98-compatible USB tablet device.Įnable USB Tablet: VM->Settings->System->Enable Absolute pointing device

(setting 32 bit color mode optimizes the interface with Virtualbox and really speeds things up)Įasiest thing, is to setup VirtualBox to NAT, and AMD PCnet-II network chip. The driver is a high quality commercial grade video driver (even includes some software emulated Open GL 3D support), and it does include an exe installer program.ĭespite having an installer, the SciTech Display Doctor is a little tricky to get going.Īfter the program launches, you have to find the little round radio button link to click to ‘enable’ the new driver (otherwise you still have VGA).Įven then, you can’t select any higher resolution modes until you ditch the ‘default monitor’ and select one of the ‘Super VGA’ types.Īfter fiddling around with the above changes and rebooting several times you should be able to select 800×600 or 1024×768 (or higher) resolutions with 32 bit color depth. The second option is to get the SciTech Display Doctor version 7 beta driver (12 MB) – If you want True color or high resolution, you need to download special drivers.ģ.2. Having 32-bit True Color driver makes Win98 VMs run on VirtualBox *much* faster. Performance Note: VirtualBox is not optimized for 16-colors (4-bit) emulation. # unless you want to turn a real cdrom/dvdrom into an image.iso (if sr0 is your dvd-drive)

Yum install mkisofs mkisofs -o mountableimage.iso /path/to/software Well i guess the “easiest” way is to “burn” all files you want to pass to Win98 on an image.iso and mount it. “Forenote: Windows 9x is not officially supported by VirtualBox team,īecause VirtualBox is not optimized to run Win 9x.” ( src) how on earth can one exchange files?

Or does one really have to buy very very old and sometimes scarce hardware such as a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600? Windows 98 NOT officially supported by VirtualBox: So the question is: can we get those diagnostic programs up and running on recent hardware inside a vm? Thats the only reason why i started this endeavor. Had a request of mechanic that uses very old windows based software and his 30 year old laptop broke down. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO RUN WIN98 or WIN95 in 2019?
